Hollywood Gatekeepers - Master Class - How to be a Hollywood Reader

EPISODE 000 - The Introduction to Hollywood Gatekeepers

Welcome aboard! We are very excited to bring the job of being a reader to the forefront! Our first episode will cover what we do and why. As a reader and story analyst, I have read thousands of screenplays. Now I, along with my partner, Douglas Shaner, am training other people to become expert readers.

We have three philosophies when it comes to reading screenplays. We believe that readers should be: 1. Champions for writers. 2. A support system for producers. 3. Entrepreneurs

We intend to do this podcast every Friday to discuss the reading process. We will have some solo episodes, we have several Oscar-winning guests lined up to discuss details regarding reading and producing screenplays, we will broadcast appearances at panels and screenings, and we will interview people who have resources to benefit entrepreneurs. Since we believe all artists to be entrepreneurs, we are eager to be resources to help you build your business.

EPISODE 001 - What is a reader?

Today we will dive in and break down a readers main job, analyzing a screenplay. We will do this by introducing and describing a coverage, or coverage. Coverage is a reader's main tool and very much resembles a book report. There are many different template possibilities. We will walk you through a basic coverage template. Enjoy!

EPISODE 003 - Readers are Champions for Writers

At Hollywood Gatekeepers we talk about the reading process by breaking it down into three categories.

Readers are: 1. Champions for Writers; 2. A Support System for Producers; and 3. Entrepreneurs.

Today, we will take a deep dive into how readers are champions for writers. Readers are also writers. If you are a reader, you are a writer. We will talk about the nuances of being a reader and embracing the idea of being a writer while helping other writers.
